A NEGATIVE IN OIL TRADE

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Amoco Corp. Chairman Richard M. Morrow said that when oil prices change rapidly, as they have recently, ''the short-term economic consequences are negative regardless of the direction that prices move.'' Speaking to the 14th annual Illinois Energy Conference here, Morrow said that ''to date, the economic advantages of lower oil prices have remained limited while the drawbacks are both severe and widespread.''
